8 Cs of Success - (2)
2. Constraints
Overcoming Your Own Constraints
The Buck Stops With You. It’s easy to blame external factors when we are our own biggest enemy most of the time. We need to fix ourselves before trying to improve our systems.
If you don’t fix your own constraints first then you will find a way to sabotage your system, guaranteed.
Dissolve Your Constraints:
The process for removing personal constraints, or at least mitigating them, is as follows:
1. Check your results – Are your results improving, meeting expectations, or under-performing?
2. Look at your behavior – Observe what you do, why and how
3. Discover constraint – Where are the bottlenecks, why to bust-ups occur, when do you let people down? where are the crises?
4. Work on improving behavior or routing around constraint – Find coping strategies, or re-learning to take the problem away
5. Go back to #1 and repeat
